• Ensure accurate financial reporting, month-end close, and budget-to-actual variance analysis.
• Collaborate with project managers to support cost control, forecasting, and resource planning.
• Manage internal controls and help develop systems to improve accuracy, efficiency, and transparency in reporting.
